The OtterBox Defender iPhone 4 case offers solid feel, excellent protection and cool looks. It is also practical, because it comes with a holster which can be used as a dock, should you wish to watch movies on your iPhone. The impact-resistant polycarbonate shell is doubled by an outer silicone layer which works as a fantastic shock absorber. It’s true that such a great protection comes with the drawback of turning the slim iPhone 4 into a kind of bulky phone, but it’s so good that you are tempted to forget about that. If you ever dropped your phone and broke its screen, then you know exactly what I mean. Besides, there are other cases, like the AGF Ballistic, which are much much thicker.

The OtterBox Defender case features silicone plugs for all ports and controls. The plugs are attached to the case, awesome idea for such tiny parts that are so easy to get lost. Plugs are excellent anti-dust protection, so you don’t want to lose them.

Technical Specs:

Textured silicone exterior which improves grip and is nice to touch

Fingerprint-resistant coating

Fine texture on the inside, eliminating bubbles that were quite a pain in previous Defender models for iPhone 3G

The case comes with a holster that doubles as a stand

OtterBox Defender vs. naked iPhone 4

This case is a perfect fit for the AT&T iPhone 4. Some people say it also fits Verizon iPhones, but there are others who say it’s not quite a perfect fit because it covers the silent switch, which is placed lower on Verizon phones than on AT&T ones. If you’re with Verizon and wish to buy an Otterbox, check with the vendor to give you the updated version, which fits both versions of iPhone 4.
